Great Interface

Strat123 15.08.2025

Switched from a Clarett (also excellent) to Apollo, an important reason was to leverage DSP for recording guitars, bass and vocals. If you are already using UAD plugins it makes sense and the move was seamless in terms of setup (using a Mac M1 mini and Luna as DAW). Very happy with the build and sound quality for the unit. Thomann service is exceptional as always.
